163 Words for Healing the Wounds of the Past

     Words worth sharing. (Awaken Children by Mata Amritanandamayi) 

    "The word renunciation scares some people. Their attitude is that if contentment can come only through giving up, then it is better not to be content...
     ...Real renunciation is the renunciation of the past and the future. The past is the garbage can where you have dumped all the actions you have performed. It is a storehouse of everything good and bad. The past is a wound. Don't touch it or scratch it. Don't make it bigger. If you scratch the wound - that is, if you delve into your memories - the wound will get infected. Don't do that. Try instead to let it heal. Healing is possible only through faith and love of God. This is possible only in the present. Remember God, chant His name, meditate on His form, and repeat your mantra. That is the best medicine to heal the wound of the past. Take that medicine to forget the past and do not be anxious about the future."(180 words)
